Langkawi Trip - Duty Free Shopping
Well known for it's Duty Free status, Langkawi is indeed a paradise for people who enjoy alcohol as well as chocolates! However, duty free shops are mostly found in tourist infested areas like Pantai Cenang and Kuah Town. Moving out of those places you are unlikely to find any shops selling cheap liquor and chocolates etc.
There are a few places to choose from, the popular ones will be Wawasan (Kuah), Teoh Soon Huat Supermarket (Kuah), The Zon (Pantai Cenang) and Coco Valley (Pantai Cenang). However, if you are in Pantai Cenang and looking for a drink late at night you could also head to Cenang Duty Free Shopping Centre which opens 16 hours a day!
I didn't exactly compare the prices but alcohol (Hoegaarden) is cheapest at Coco Valley, selling at RM3.50. The Zon sells at at RM3.70 (chilled) whereas other places sell at RM3.90. Any higher than that you should walk out of the shop unless there are no other places to go. It's the same as for liquor like Chivas and Glenfiddich
Having said that, chocolates may be cheaper in places where the alcohol are slightly more pricey. So at the end of the day it boils down to your own personal liking. But for me i bought most stuff at the Zon and Coco Valley.
For this trip I tried most of the beers on offer, namely Hoegaarden, Corona, Budweiser and Kampai. Didn't bother to try the 'cheap' beers like Carlsberg and Heineken though. Kampai was one of my favourites as it is SWEET! Managed to smuggle two bottles back on top of a Glenfiddich 1L. =P
